Andrew,

A modem is a bridge - it bridges the voice line to Ethernet. It only has 1 IP
address. A router has 2 IP addresses.

If you're having network problems, like inability to access Internet sites, un
installing personal firewalls is a good place to start diagnosing the problem.
Check with Symantec before starting - there may be special un install procedures
you will need.

Incidentally, I just downloaded the newest version of Autoruns - V8.0 - and it
shows me 12 NetBIOS Winsock entries + 3 TCP/IP entries. So look carefully at
your list - you may be surprised.
